Consolidates certain transportation entities and transfers powers and duties of such entities to DOT.
This bill consolidates three New Jersey transportation authorities - the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, South Jersey Transportation Authority, and New Jersey Transit Corporation - into the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). It requires NJDOT to assume all powers, assets, debts, and responsibilities of these entities on a specified "Transfer Date," ending their separate existence. Employees of the consolidated entities transfer to NJDOT with retained benefits, pensions, and collective bargaining rights, while creditors and contractors can enforce existing claims against NJDOT as the successor. The bill prohibits NJDOT from issuing new bonds under the former authorities’ names and updates legal references to reflect the consolidation. This structural change aims to streamline transportation oversight and operations under a single agency.
